Through the Prism

After passing through the prism, each refraction contains some pure essence of the light, but only an incomplete part. We will always experience some aspect of reality, of the Truth, but only from our perspectives as they are colored by who and where we are. Others will know a different color and none will see the whole, complete light. These are my musings from my particular refraction.

Sad but True

It's sad but not surprising that the publisher reacted the way they did. A tiny drawing of a wang in a kid's book is just the sort of unsubstantial, yet mildly controversial issue that local TV news teams really enjoy. In a country where you can get your 15 minutes of fame from complaining about talking dolls that "swear" if you listen really, really hard, and the use of the word "scrotum" in a Newbery Medal winning children's book causes apoplexy in librarians, the publisher was probably less concerned about offending your average parent than it was about having to "take tiny penis drawings seriously" on the nightly news. So it goes.
